Sharing the Information we receive

Information about our customers is an
important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to
others. Direct Create shares customer information only as described below and
with associates or partners under the control of Direct Create Private Limited
(such as its subsidiaries/agents) and that are either subject to this Privacy
Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this
Privacy Notice.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not
Control: We work closely with affiliated businesses. In some
cases, such as Marketplace sellers, these businesses operate stores at Direct
Create or sell offerings to you at Direct Create. In other cases, we provide
services jointly with or on behalf of these businesses. When a third party is
involved in your transactions we share customer information related to those
transactions with that third party.

Third Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on our behalf. Viz. fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending
postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists,
analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and
links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments and
providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to
perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they
must process the personal information in accordance with this Privay Notice and
as permitted by the applicable law.

Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of Direct
Create customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give
that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers,
please adjust your Communication Preferences.

Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or
buy stores, subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer
information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains
subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of
course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that
Direct Create.com, and all of its assets are acquired, customer information
will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of Direct Create and
Others: We release account and other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply
our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or
safety of Direct Create, our users or others. This includes exchanging
information with other companies, organizations, government or regulatory
authorities for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however,
this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing
personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a
way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice.

With your consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when
information about you might go to third parties and you will have an
opportunity to choose not to share the information.

Whenever we transfer personal
information to countries outside India in the course of sharing information as
set out above, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance
with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the applicable laws including but
not limited to Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules framed
thereunder.

packaging and handling, insurance, or other value added services, assist us in
providing customized advertising, to assist us with the prevention, detection,
mitigation, and investigation of potentially illegal acts, violations of our User agreement and/or security
breaches, bill collection, affiliate and rewards programs, co-branded

personal information to send you marketing communications only if you have
requested their services

other content violates the rights of others, or protect anyone's rights,
property or safety.

to law enforcement or governmental
agencies, or authorized third-parties, in response to a verified request
relating to a criminal investigation or alleged or suspected illegal activity
or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our users to
legal liability. We will only disclose information we deem relevant to the
investigation or inquiry, such as name, city, state, postcode, telephone

proceeding, if they provide us with a subpoena, court order or substantially
similar legal procedure, or we otherwise believe in good faith that the
disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or
financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.

Security of Information

We work to protect the security of
your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
software, which encrypts information you input in addition to maintaining
security of your information as per the International Standard IS/ISO/IEC 27001

card information for quick check out or other purposes, we reveal only the last
four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we
transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company
during order processing.

We maintain physical, electronic and
procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure
of personal information (including sensitive personal information). Our security
procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we
disclose personal information to you.

against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to
sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

and notice violations on our sites refer to User IDs and specific items. So if
you associate your name with your User ID, the people to whom you have revealed
your name will be able to personally identify your activities on our site/s.

another user, we enable you to obtain or we may provide you with the personal
information of the other user (such as his/her name, account ID, email address,
contact details, shipping and billing address) to complete the transaction. We
encourage you to inform the other user about your privacy practices and respect
his/her privacy. In all cases, you must give the other user a chance to remove
himself/herself from your database and give him/her a chance to review what information
you have collected about them.

that you have access to only for Direct Create authorised transaction-related
purposes, or for other services offered through Direct Create.com and for
purposes expressly consented by the user to whom the information relates. Using
personal information of other users that you have access to for any other
purpose constitutes a violation of our user agreement
